HOW DO I KNOW YOU ARE THE RIGHT THERAPIST FOR ME?
I encourage everyone to notice what it feels like to sit in session with me for the first couple of appointments to determine whether my style is a good fit for you. I tend to offer open-ended sessions with curiosity, compassion, humor, and acceptance rather than structured agendas. (unless we are doing EMDR, then it can be pretty structured). Your comfort is so important for therapy to be helpful!
HOW QUICKLY CAN I EXPECT TO FEEL BETTER IN THERAPY?
The dreaded answer: it depends. For those doing EMDR, some clients have expressed feeling better after one processing session. Some clients wish to attend longer term therapy (1+ years) to get ongoing support with life stressors. You get out of therapy what you put into therapy, which means higher levels of willingness to share vulnerabilities, take new perspectives, and practice new skills leads to faster results.
FAQs
WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED AND DO YOU DO VIRTUAL SESSIONS?
For in person sessions, I am located at:
3724 Jefferson St
Suite 200

I only offer virtual sessions to residents of Massachusetts.
DO YOU OFFER SLIDING SCALE RATES?
While I do reserve some therapy sessions for reduced fees, I do not have any open sliding scale spots at this time. I use Mentaya so you can get reimbursement with out-of-network benefits. If you have a PPO insurance plan, you may be eligible for reimbursement a portion of my fee. For more information on payment or to check your benefits, please go to the pricing page here.
WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF THERAPY?
You should expect to feel some emotional discomfort in sessions. This is normal! And necessary. Clients often report feeling a sense of catharsis and "lightness" after expressing distressing emotions. If you are planning on doing virtual therapy, there is a risk of occasional interruptions due to technology issues or unstable internet.
